Fringe Benefits Tax

A car fringe benefit occurs when a car is provided by the employer for the private use of the employee. A car is meant to be 'held' by the employee when the car is provided on lease to the employee. In order to attract the FBT the car may be actually used by the employee for private purposes or is made available for the private use of the employees.(Australian Tax Office) Thus in the case of the employees of Techno Supplies even when the employees are away on the field work, the use of the cars by the family members would amount to private use of the car by an associate and therefore would attract FBT liability.

A statutory formula is prescribed for the payment of the FBT based on the value of the car and the distance travelled during the year irrespective of whether the vehicle was used for business or personal purposes. The lease payments or the running costs do not matter for the calculation of the FBT.
